Okay. Yes I know I have other stories to work on. Like my IZ stories and my ToD game, but you know what? I now have the guts to write this. That I am listening to Mr. Brightside by The Killers and its somehow hyping me up to write this. Which is odd since I got the idea for this while listening to Somebody Told Me by the same band. Oh well… Time for a little explanation. Nobody is a vampyre and Rephiam and his brothers aren't Raven Mockers in the sense of bird-guys. Just to clear that up, kay, kay? Enjoy.
Disclaimer: The characters? No. I don't own. The plot between Stevie Rae and Rephiam in general? No. I do not own that either. In general.. I DON'T OWN!
"What? You got in? No way! That means I have to get in too!" Stevie Rae exclaimed when she learned that her BFF actually got accepted into the university in New York City .
They were currently in her cute little bug that she had ever since they met in high school. It was pretty vintage, but it still worked like a dream.
"You mean you haven't gotten a letter yet?" Zoey asked, feeling a bit concerned, but not that much.
"Nah. Mom still deals with the mail. But since you got your letter, that probably means mine'll be in the mail waitin' fer me." Stevie Rae said in a bright, hope filled voice that also had her sweet Okie twang in it.
"Well if I got in, then it looks like you will get in no doubt." Zoey said reassuringly.
Stevie Rae just sighed. She wasn't really sure of herself. Hell Zoey wasn't even sure of herself when she signed up for the university. They both took it so that they could go to the same collage and move out from Tulsa and yet still stay together. But, again, Stevie Rae wasn't sure of herself.
Zoey would always joke around that where Stevie Rae had her high points in a class, Zoey would fail in, and vice versa. But Stevie Rae never did think her grades were top notch. Heck the only way to reassure her thoughts was to get her report card with all of the good grades on it.
"Stevie Rae?" Zoey said while gently nudging her friend while they were at a red light.
"Huh? Sorry Z. I guess I got lost in thought again." Stevie Rae said while blushing slightly.
"Don't worry about it. It's not like you were behind the wheel." Zoey said with a giggle.
"Yeah. I think we'd make our self road kill." Stevie Rae said with a giggle in her voice too.
They shared another good round of a laugh before the light turned green and they were in motion again. Then Stevie Rae thought up of something important.
"Wait a minute. What if I do get accepted. What am I gonna do with Dallas?" Stevie Rae said all panicky.
"You could always skype him." Zoey offered.
"I guess I could. Hey what about you and your love life?" Stevie Rae asked jokingly.
"Oh you mean super jealous Erik? I dumped him. I felt like I couldn't go out unless I had a whiteness saying that I didn't fool around with anyone else or hooking up with my other ex." Zoey said.
"Is that why you hang out with me?" Stevie Rae teasingly said while she was leaning on her arm with her hand holding her head.
"Hey why did you break up with Heath again? He was super cute, not that jealous, and was really sweet to you." Stevie Rae asked again.
"Under-age drinking and the step-loser made me switch schools." Zoey said simply again.
"Right. But hey, switching schools wasn't all that bad right? That's were you meet me." Stevie Rae said.
Zoey smiled back at her.
"True. The only thing he did right." she said.
"But still am I glad your mom dumped his ass." Stevie Rae said, knowing that her BFF never grew tired hearing that.
"So am I. I still can't believe he cheated on her like that. It's official. He's an butt-hole all around." Zoey said with a huge umph in her voice. Which Stevie Rae couldn't help but laugh about. Especially since they were both 21 and she still didn't swear that much.
"Hey stop laughing." Zoey said jokingly.
"Okay fine." Stevie Rae said calming down her laughter.
The drove on for a while until they finally arrived at Stevie Rae's home. Yeah she stilled lived with her mama but only so she could save up on her money to get her own apartment someday with the money she makes at her job working as a waitress at that cute little homey restaurant.
"Aren't you going to check the mail?" Zoey asked Stevie Rae when they got out of the car and she rushed to the door way instead of the mail box.
"Like I told ya Z. My mama deals with the mail. And the mail man already came by. So chances are my mama got the mail already." Stevie Rae said excitedly while getting out her house keys from her little purse.
After finding the right key and putting it in the lock, she opened the door, inviting her friend inside.
"I'm home Mama!" Stevie Rae called out.
"Hello dear!" Her mother answered.
"I brought Zoey with me." She informed her mother.
"Hey Mrs. Johnson." Zoey confirmed.
"Oh hello Zoey. Would like something to snack on?" Virginia "Ginny" Johnson asked, coming out from the kitchen.
"No thank you. I'm really hungry." Zoey said.
"Did the mail come?" Stevie Rae politely asked.
"Why yes indeed dear. And if memory serves, there was a letter just for you." Ginny said.(I'm calling her that because it's too much work calling her Mrs. Johnson over and over again.)
"Really?" Stevie Rae said getting a little bit giddy.
"Yup. I think I'll go get it right now." Her mother said leaving the room to go retrieve the letter.
"Maybe its your letter saying that your coming to collage with me." Zoey said in a low voice while nudging her.
"Maybe!" Stevie Rae said in an excided whisper while crossing her fingers.
"Here it is!" Ginny exclaimed. "Hmmm.. It's from New York. Maybe its from that collage you were testing for and where setting your sights on." She said handing it over to her daughter.
Stevie Rae took the letter, and, not being able to keep her excitement in, she tore open the envelope, being careful of the letter inside. Of which she took out, opened and reluctantly read.
After a few silent minutes, Zoey finally broke the silence.
"So did you get in?" She asked hesitantly.
There was another few minutes of silence before Stevie Rae answered her.
"Yes! I'm in! We're going to collage together!" She exclaimed while jumping into her friend giving her a hug then doing the same thing with her mother.
"Alright! We're now collage girls in New York City!" Zoey said.
"Good job sweetie. I knew you could do it." Ginny said hugging her daughter fiercely.
"Oh jeeze I gotta pack! Come on Zoey. If you help me out pack my stuff I'll help you." Stevie Rae asked.
"Deal" Was all she said before they headed to her room to pack for New York City and their new life there.
